Obadiah 8–14

⁸Is it not in that day—an affirmation of Jehovah, That I have destroyed the wise out of Edom, And understanding out of the mount of Esau? ⁹And broken down have been thy mighty ones, O Teman, So that every one of the mount of Esau is cut off.

¹⁰For slaughter, for violence to thy brother Jacob, Cover thee doth shame, And thou hast been cut off—to the age. ¹¹In the day of thy standing over-against, In the day of strangers taking captive his force, And foreigners have entered his gates, And for Jerusalem have cast a lot, Even thou art as one of them! ¹²And—thou dost not look on the day of thy brother, On the day of his alienation, Nor dost thou rejoice over sons of Judah, In the day of their destruction, Nor make great thy mouth in a day of distress. ¹³Nor come into a gate of My people in a day of their calamity, Nor look, even thou, on its misfortune in a day of its calamity, Nor send forth against its force in a day of its calamity, ¹⁴Nor stand by the breach to cut off its escaped, Nor deliver up its remnant in a day of distress.
